The Moonshiners

The Moonshiners - Brigham Phillips

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler

I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me

Well leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry

I'll drink when I'm dry

And the moonshine don't kill me

I'll live till I die

I've been a moonshiner

For many a year

I've spent all me money

On whiskey and beer

I'll go to some hollow

I'll set up my still

And I'll make you a gallon

For a ten shilling bill

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler

I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me

Well leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry

I'll drink when I'm dry

And the moonshine don't kill me

I'll live till I die

I'll go to some hollow

In this counterie

Ten gallons of wash

I can go on a spree

No women to follow

The world is all mine

I love none so well as

I love the moonshine

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler

I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me

Well leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry

I'll drink when I'm dry

And the moonshine don't kill me

I'll live till I die

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler

I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me

Well leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry

I'll drink when I'm dry

And the moonshine don't kill me

I'll live till I die

Oh moonshine dear moonshine

Oh how I love thee

You killed me old father

But ah you try me

Now bless all moonshiners

And bless all moonshine

Their breath smells as sweet

As the dew on the vine

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler

I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me

Well leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry

I'll drink when I'm dry

And the moonshine don't kill me

I'll live till I die

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler

I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me

Well leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry

I'll drink when I'm dry

And the moonshine don't kill me

I'll live till I die
